I was just reading an article about the incredible websearch engine Google. Not only is it terribly useful, but it’s an incredibly clean design both outside and inside.

Here’s a quote that I particularly liked. They were talking about how prepared they are for system failure with their redundancy and easy of rolling out new data centre’s in times of crisis.

A new data centre can be up and running in under three days. “Our data centre now is like an iMac,” said Schulz.” You have two cables, power and data. All you need is a truck to bring the servers in and the whole burning in, operating system install and configuration is automated.”

Notice, Our data centre now is like an iMac. Whoa! Apple’s iMac is now a standard of ease, simplicity, and robustness. I’m proud to be on the Macintosh team. :-)
